Santa Clara
Michelle Bento
Opening Remarks:
"I am extremely proud of our girls. There were numerous times when our back was against the wall. We just kept our composure and came through. Defense wins for us and I think the girls did a great job of defending late and keeping us in a position where we could win the game."
On Huss' shot:
"I was thankful because I felt our team deserved it. That was my initial thought: that I was thankful for them."
On late Huss layup:
"I told Kayla, Just get it and go and that was our game plan and strategy at that time"
On Gonzaga's style of play:
"We knew that they would be very physical. We didn't make an adjustment, we just weren't executing and doing what we're supposed to do early in the game."
On the rest of the tournament:
"We wanted to put ourselves in a position to be in this game tomorrow. That was our goal and we accomplished it, whether it's Pepperdine or San Diego that we play."
Kayla Huss
On her shot to tie the game:
"I just wanted to get the ball and try to get the ball up. I knew she wasn't going to foul me. One handed, one footed, whatever, just get the shot off."
On power outage:
"We knew if we were aggressive in the second half, we could get in a position to win. I guess I could say it was difficult to maintain that aggressive style with the delay. There was some goofing off in the locker room, but when we got back into the game nothing changed in our attitude.
On motivation to beat Gonzaga:
"After losing to them the last time we played them, and losing pretty badly, we just wanted to get back at them and beat them."
Kendra Rhea
On Gonzaga:
"They are a physical team both in and out of the paint. You have to see what the refs are going to call and go with it. We got down but kept playing and got ourselves in a position to catch up and win. You just adjust to the physicality of the play."
On last play (scramble for the ball):
"It was a lot of confusion in there. You don't want to foul in that situation. Just get the ball, that's all.
GonzagaKelly Graves
Opening Remarks:
"It was a great game, it's certainly the most interesting game I've been a part of. I want to give Santa Clara a lot of credit. They made a lot of big plays. I don't sleep that much anyway, but I'm sure I'll see that 3 pointer in my dreams. I wish them the best of luck tomorrow."
On Huss' shot to tie the game:
"She made a great shot. We wanted to put pressure on her, but we didn't turn her. The defense was good, Shannon was there, but she made a great shot. I'm not a big believer in fouling in that situation."
On the break from the power outage:
"It was a surreal situation. I think it affected both teams equally. Once we got our feet under us the game was able to flow better, but the game was a knock down, drag out brawl either way."
On improvement of team play during the season:
"We were awful early in the season. We got better and better and at this point I felt we were playing as good as anyone in the conference. We're a young team and I think we have some players that are going to do some good things in this conference."
On senior Triana Allen:
"I love Triana like no other player I've had. Obviously, she's been great and we've had fights, but she's everything that's good about college athletics. She comes from a tough background and she's become a great student. She's going to be one of those players that people remember. She's the only senior, she's doing it by herself. Santa Clara had five seniors. She could never have an off day. We're going to miss her."
On the state of the conference:
"I think our conference is in transition. It's not as strong as it's been since I've been here but it's not weak. I think it's young, with a lot of young players. The conference has been very strong, then it was down, and now we're re-building again. It's a tough conference with great coaches who recruit great kids. I think any of these teams left have a shot at competing in the Tournament."
Ashley Burke
On Triana Allen:
"Triana, our senior, was our inspiration and helped us immensely to get to where we got."
Shannon Mathews
On season:
"We came together as a team. We did fairly well in conference. No one expected us be here, but we did. So it's very disappointing to lose this game." On power outage: "It was strange, but once we got back our there we were fine. We just didn't get it done."

These custom machined head spacers complement our purple headset and stems perfectly. The pack contains 2 x 5mm, 1 x 10mm & 1 x 20mm with the 10 & 20mm laser engraved with the Hope logo.
A bicycle headset attaches the fork to the frame, they consist of bearings and races which allow the forks steerer to move within the frames headtube. There are a few types of headset, these are threaded and ahead. Threaded headsets are the older type and use a thread on the forks steerer to adjust, an ahead type has no thread and uses a top cap to adjust the tension. Ahead headsets come in three options, external cup, internal and integrated. Integrated and internal headsets use bearings which fit inside the headtube and provide clean lines, whereas the external cup system uses cups which fit into the frame but are still visible. Most will use cartridge bearings which last well and have very low maintenance requirements, one thing worth doing is to switch the top and bottom bearing periodically, as the bottom bearings are more prone to wear as they support the weight of the bike and rider.

Oklahoma Sooners cornerback Aaron Colvin has suffered a serious injury during practice at this years Senior Bowl.
Reports suggest the fear is that Colvin may have suffered a torn ACL, and should this prognosis prove accurate his draft prospects could be hit dramatically.
After a strong season with the Sooners which led to him being named his schools defensive MVP by ESPN, and earning All-Big 12 honors for the second straight year, Colvin was projected to be taken in the second round in May's 2014 NFL Draft.
Unfortunately for Colvin, should his injury prove serious NFL teams searching for a cornerback will undoubtedly shift their attention to a more healthy option.
People have in recent weeks questioned the decision of some Seniors to turn down the opportunity to take part in the Senior Bowl, with AJ McCarron coming under particular scrutiny.
But injuries like this one prove the inherent risk a player takes when accepting the invitation so close to the NFL Combine, and draft.

A window on upper-crust NYC and those who spin in its orbit. The writer allows us to become eavesdroppers and voyeurs as pre-dinner drinks are poured, daytime masks slip, and the characters gradually reveal themselves, less to one another than to their audience. The rhythms of conversation drift along on a succession of drinks, banter, gossip and occasional glimpses beneath the surface.
Buy Tickets Now
The Cast of Characters
The Waitress, an attractive twenty something. She's become wary of her customers in general but is capable of genuine warmth when she feels on safe footing. At Table One - Chris an unhappily married young man who doesn't feel in control of the direction his life is taking.
At Table Two - Jesse, a feisty young man, gay and utterly comfortable with who he is, unlike Lillian and her friend Crystal. Lillian Davenport is in her thirties and insecure despite her position in life. She has very good posture, posssibly as compensation for what she feels are her many inadequacies. Completing the table ensemble is Arrie, a twenty plus charmer, maybe chasing thirty something, who has no problem with and in fact clearly relishes what Lillian and Crystal fear, the game of life and love.
At Table Three, here we find Josephine, something of a dowager in style. She enjoys wearing label clothes and in particular, her jewels. Her companions are Michael, who is distinguished in appearance and Andrew a self-absorbed jetset heartthrob.
The course of the play makes it difficult to resist this heady NYC cocktail.

Test post....
Hopefully a LINK to Photobucket Album for Dolica Traveler Tripod.... In the picture below, the tripod is stored in its (standard) carry case, with a Canon S3 IS included for size comparison.
Picture is a cropped & resized copy of photo originally taken with a Panasonic FZ200, which has been purchased to replace the over 5 1/2 year-old S3. Am very impressed with the FZ200 thus far, although have had precious little time to "play" with it yet.
(YAY: Michigan State just went ahead of TCU 14 to 13 - under 7 minutes in game. Lots of time left, but nice to see them in front!)
Well, was up way too late last night - but at least Mich State managed to win their bowl game, which had an exciting 4th Qtr.
Here is a picture of the Dolica in its Folded Position - which, again, is less than 13" in total length, and reaches out to about 57" with all sections fully opened (including the 2 section neck).
Tripod weighs in at 2.5 lbs, and feels sturdy (whether or not you wish to debate its "Professional" status), although am not convinced I would want to test its maximum weight rating, particularly with the last spindly-looking little leg sections extended.
With four leg sections (by 3 legs!) to extend, plus the center column extension, set up is a bit fussy, but this is a "Travel" tripod, all of the lock mechanisms feel sturdy, and it holds the Pan FZ200 securely.
In all, very happy with this thus far. Youngest daughter has a larger Dolica model which has held up well for several years (and through 2 DSLRs) - am obviously hoping for similar results.

Ackward is the incorrect spelling of awkward. I'm so surprised that no one has corrected this on here.
It's often ackward when you spell everything else correctly but do not know how to spell awkward. Thus ruining your credibility forever.
by MyRealNameIsJames January 24, 2009
When awkward just isn't quite enough. More awkward than the awkward turtle.
by wink91wink November 10, 2009
An incorrect way of saying Awkward. Most people will go along with it and not say anything, but eventually someone will point out that you have been saying it wrong your whole life.
--"Dude, that was so ackward"
--"Did you just say 'ackward'"
--"uh, you say AWKward. Not, ACKward."
--"Did you just say 'ackward'"
--"uh, you say AWKward. Not, ACKward."

An extreme case of awkwardness, often involving acne and breast licking propositions. Also the title of a 2006 Youtube trailor that has grown into a cult sensation.
A wall of ackward seperates an ackward person from people with friends. Ackward people are completely unacceptable.

Life in the (Poetry) Fast Lane--
I feel as if I've sort of abandoned my blog and life and yet, I've been doing to so much recently. Here are a few things I've been up to this week--
1. Poets on the Coast: As you know, this was an incredible retreat, so good, we've decided to do it again next year September 7-9, 2012! It was a ton of work, but incredibly satisfying to me as a poet and as a person.
2. Fire On Her Tongue: An eBook Anthology of Contemporary Women's Poetry: I spent 12 hours with Annette Spaulding-Convy yesterday preparing this anthology to go out into the world. After that, we worked on our website, Two Sylvias Press. Check it out and if you look around, you might see the cover of Fire On Her Tongue-- it's kind of awesome, if I do say so myself! (Oh and the photo on the cover was taken by poet Nance Van Winckel.)
3. Redoing my own website: Okay, this wasn't planned, but after a glass of wine and the feeling I could do anything, I ended up buying 2 years (at $2.50 a month!) at iPage and starting the transfer process of my website. I've been wanting to do this for years, but haven't known how to go about it, Annette said, "Just do it..." and the next thing I knew, I had 2 years of new web hosting and was transferring my account.
4. Crab Creek Review email submissions: Crab Creek Review now takes email submissions! We are really excited about this, but again, the set-up and the learning how we will all do this has taken some time.
Still, I'm absolutely thrilled we now offer this to our poets and writers! And since our editors are all over the Northwest, this will help cut down in the time we take responding to our submissions. (Note: if you do submit & it's taking awhile for us to get back to you, that's a *good* sign!) Learn how to submit by email here.
5. Applications: One grant and one job application, both still on my list to do.
6. My *own* Manuscript: Okay, it's kind of sad that what has fallen to the end of the list is my own work, but here's the deal--I'm on a week writing residency in October, so my work becomes my only priority for 7 full days.
Here's what I can tell you--
I have two projects in the works--a long nonfiction work that I have written and need to revise and a third poetry manuscript currently without a title and is mostly a poetry ghost floating through my head. I hope to put a body to this ghost and give her a nice hat in October.
So there I am and what I've been up to.
What projects have you been working on or what are you looking forward to in the fall?
I'd love to hear what everyone is up to, I feel a little disconnected from the poetry world, but slowly tying knots back in the threads...
6 comments:
Congratulations on Two Sylvias Press and its first title, which features a stunning collection of poets. May both be a great success.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Maureen! it's been a lot of work but also very exciting and very fun. This is a recent theme in my life! ;-)ReplyDelete
Re: email submissions, that's great, but I strongly recommend checking out Submishmash, too. We've been using it for a year at qarrtsiluni and it keeps getting better and better. A huge time-saver, especially when you have more than one editor reading and commenting on a given submission. Work in different genres can be routed to the appropriate editors, resticted to just one file type (e.g. Word), etc.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Dave! I've heard about it. I am probably the only poet who has not submitted on it though (I did hear the one bad thing about it for poets is if you submit on it you can see all the places that use it and have rejected you.) ;-)ReplyDelete
Anyway, good to know! Thanks!
Fire on Her Tongue looks beautiful - and such wonderful poets. Congrats also on your book award news and all of your other poetry goodness.ReplyDelete
One of the benefits of seeing those rejections on Submishmash is that it's easy to track what you've sent that got a "no" if you want to resubmit. You can also hide the rejections very easily. :)
What I've been working on -- last April I finished work on a book of poems. The main part of it is a connected series of poems about traveling on the west coast with a poet friend for a few days in 1984. I started work on the poems shortly after I got home from the trip, and it took 27 years and a few months to finish it.ReplyDelete
So since last April one of the things I've been working on is typing many of the poems onto my computer (many of the poems have been on the typewriter pages from years ago); and going through the poems and fixing little stuff.
Apart from that, I've been generally writing poems, and posting things on my blog now and then, and waiting for a forthcoming book of poems to come out from my publisher.
Enough to keep me busy...

Victorian 15kt Sapphire & Diamond Maltese Cross Pendant
Product Details
An incredible sapphire and diamond pendant from the Victorian (ca1880) era! This fabulous piece is made of 15kt yellow gold (indicating English origin) and has a brilliant multi stone design on the front surface. The pendant is round and substantial in size, with a raised center that displays a decorative maltese cross. At the center of the cross is a large faceted sapphire stone, which has a gorgeous periwinkle blue color and is held within a scalloped 8-prong setting. An overlapping Medieval-inspired design forms the shape of the maltese cross, which is lined with bold, black enamel and encrusted with sparkling Old Mine cut diamonds. A square rests in between each corner of the cross, adding a decorative accent with a diamond center. The back of the piece has a hollow center, making the pendant lightweight and comfortable to wear. At the top of the pendant is a simple gold bail, allowing it to be easily hung and worn on a chain. An outstanding and fashionable piece, it has a wonderful look and is stunning when worn. It is perfect for the Victorian jewelry collector or fashion-forward woman!
Measurement: The pendant hangs 2 1/8" long, has a 1 3/4" diameter, and is 1/2" thick.
Condition: The overall condition of the pendant is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the gold setting or enamel work. The sapphire and diamond stones are all intact, and the bail is secure and in good working condition.

Bottle Watch
Nava, Italy
2014 -
Bottle is a unisex, analogue watch with raised nodules around its glass perimeter, similar to those found on the bottom of a glass beverage bottle. We noticed that there are often exactly sixty of these nodules found on a typical beer bottle where the function is to avoid suction between the bottle and a table surface. This observation makes a useful correlation to the units of timekeeping and replicating these nodules creates a strikingly irridescent appearance when light hits its face at different angles.
It was designed for Nava, an Italian accessories company, in colours that follow typical glass bottles - brown ale, green wine, clear spirt and blue water.

Circumference Watch
Muji, Japan
2008 — 2010
A watch in its most simplest description is something that 'measures' time. The Circumference Watch followed this description - a wristwatch as an accurate measuring device, similar to a ruler. For the numbers on the face of the watch, the same number typeface was adopted as used on the technical rulers manufactured by the Japanese company Shinwa. Since the watch was to be made by Seiko, Shinwa allowed the use of their typeface. The design also had an interesting sense of depth - produced through the interplay of three elements: the numbers printed on the back side of the glass, the shadows that were projected upon the face, and the hands of the watch. In order to give the glass cover a greater sense of materiality, green glass was chosen. All of these ideas gelled together to form a very simple but also magical design.

An Alarm
IDEA Japan
2010 —
An Alarrm is an effective analog alert watch that adopts the iconic alarm clock analogy as its starting point. When the alert is activated, instead of sound a small motor creates a vibration on the wrist, similar to a mobile phone. Its intelligence is in how simple it is to set and use – the alert is set simply by moving the alarm hand to the desired time and lifting the alert button. This interface was also borrowed from the alarm clock, to avoid 'layers' of settings that would have otherwise created complexity that's normally found in alarm watches.

Bell Clock
IDEA Japan
2009 —
Even though the digital world has made analogue alarm clocks appear historical, people still are attracted to them for their loudness and simple interface. Bell was designed to help alarm clocks take up a more desireable position, for people who struggle with the layers of information required to set digital clocks. The design moved the bell component to form part of the clock's body, helping to save components, simplifying the appearance, and creating a much louder ring within a small footprint. Bell features a snooze control, a molded numeral display that avoids the necessity for printing, and LED illumination. It is louder than a mobile phone, a desk clock or a watch. Its loudness is also reflected in the choice of colours: Fire Bell Red, Bicycle Bell Chrome, and Doorbell Black.
The battery door is easily pulled off for replacement, as well as serving as a stand for greater stability when the alarm is ringing. When the alarm is activated, the LED light also turns on, to help to see its display on dark winter mornings.

IDEA Japan
2007 —
Industrial Facility examined the travel alarm clock - a product that receives little attention yet continues to be popular among older generations. The design was informed not by shape but by interface. The ambition was to create a digital alarm clock with such simplicity of use that it would render a manual unnecessary. By involving two digital displays - one for time, the other for alarm - that are always visible, adjusting the display becomes intuitive. The reverse of the clock has both, a lock button for travelling (to stop the display inadvertently changing) and a battery compartment that uses no screws. Other functions include display illumination and an alarm/snooze button that also incorporates the speaker.
Every detail, from the interface, to the size and material were considered and resulted in a clarity rarely seen in these types of products.
"It's not often you get the chance to develop a product from scratch. It came about from the plain frustration of trying to set a digital alarm clock for travelling. The answer came during a trip to Tokyo, where the hotel had a clock with two displays. This simple idea removed a lot of complexity in using it, even though it added more. However, adopting this simple idea proved hard to achieve for mass production at an affordable scale, because it required a new microchip along with the costs of programming. The overwhelming advantages proved irresistible to us and IDEA. The proportions were also based on half the size of a passport. We all feel it epitomises one of the primary roles of design - making things better from inside out."

NBC Making a Rosemary's Baby Miniseries
Set in Paris.
NBC has green-lit a four-hour miniseries adaptation of Rosemary's Baby, the network announced today. Ira Levin's 1967 book was, duh, already adapted into Roman Polanski's hugely iconic 1968 film — which might be why this miniseries will be set in Paris instead of New York. Agnieszka Holland (Treme, The Wire, Europa Europa) will direct, and casting will begin immediately. Let's see, a remake of a thing that already has a canonical version, and it's something no one needs a remake of ... might we suggest Carrie Underwood?

Japanese car manufacturer Honda is developing a new hydraulic robot hand for its humanoid ASIMO. While a previous update already introduced an opposable thumb, ASIMO's current hand is still restricted to 2 degrees of freedom with the four remaining fingers actuated by a single motor. The new hand features five independent motors for each hand and will use hydraulics, which will allow to move the 5 actuating motors away from the fingers. In addition, the new hand will include pressure sensors at the finger tips and double the maximum amount of force to roughly 10 Newtons.

Researcher Defines New Terrain in Computing Power
Story posted August 10, 2007
Imagine plotting the surface of Earth to within 100 feet of detail. That's exactly what NASA did in 2000 when the agency recorded digital images of 80 percent of the planet's surface with a resolution of 98.4 feet. With the aid of recent technologies, we now have the potential to obtain real-time images of the entire Earth down to a resolution of 3.3 feet.
Once you get beyond the "Gee whiz!" factor of using Google Earth to find a satellite image of your old pick-up truck parked in your driveway, it's almost a burden to have this much information at your fingertips. It requires the power of a super-computer to meaningfully store, manipulate or analyze that much data. Most of the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) used to plot maps are not up to the task.
With help from some Bowdoin student researchers, Assistant Professor of Computer Science Laura Toma and her colleagues from other universities have been creating algorithms that manage geographic data to reduce computation time, essentially giving a desktop the power of a supercomputer.
"Our work deals with real problems on real data sets that practitioners face," she says. "It tries to solve them in the most efficient ways, which will have impact on other disciplines. This is not something you publish that only theoreticians care about. The practical work is really important to justify the theory."
How Does Data Storage Work?
A computer stores data in two ways: on its hard drive and in its RAM. The hard drive is much larger — easily 100 gigabytes — and much cheaper, so that's the best place to dump huge amounts of data. The RAM is critical, however, because it's where you take the data to work with it.
A computer's "virtual memory manager" chooses blocks of data to move back and forth between the hard drive and the RAM — even if you need just one piece of data, a whole block goes with it. Transferring these data blocks takes time, and creates a bottleneck in the program's calculating speed. The best way to speed things up is to store and use data in an efficient order to minimize the number of blocks you need to transfer, and the number of times you need to transfer each one.
After early development as mapping technology, GIS has since driven evermore complex systems, such as Global Positioning System (GPS), a worldwide satellite-based navigation system. The layers of information created by these systems can quickly create dizzying computing challenges for those who wish to store, analyze or manipulate massive terrain data.
To explain the scope of the computing challenge, Toma refers to an image that was taken of parts of Washington State. At a resolution of 33 feet, the image generated one billion points of data, each requiring at least 16 bytes of RAM (random access memory) to process. That's a total of 16 gigabytes of RAM. Even a state-of-the-art desktop computer provides only two gigabytes of RAM.
Toma is developing approaches that optimize a desktop's input/output — in addition to its central processing unit (CPU) — to give it the performance improvements needed for applications that handle such large data sets. (See box, right.)
The first program she developed, called TerraFlow, tracks water flow and flood patterns. It reduced the computation time from two weeks to three hours, looking at an image containing merely 200 million points of data.
"Every GIS has its own software for handling water flow data," Toma said. "Ours is the only system that can handle very large data sets."
Toma then developed a program called IOviewshed — working with Bowdoin student researcher Yi Zhuang '08 — which uses elevation data to calculate what part of a terrain is visible from any random point. His work was included in Toma's presentation at a professional conference and is part of a professional paper.
This summer, computer-science major Zhuang is working with Toma on her current project, undertaken with colleagues at the University of Eindhoven in the Netherlands. They are developing a theoretical algorithm to analyze map overlays — calculating each point where map layers, such as streams and streets, intersect.
It is a time-intensive process of programming, says Zhuang, who is testing the theory. "The algorithm is only a skeleton," he says. "I'm putting flesh on it so the body can move."
If he is successful, he says, the work will double as his honors thesis and he hopes to publish it as a professional paper.
"On the last paper we published [IOviewshed], I wrote the experimental results section," he said. "This time, my professor wants me to write the whole paper."
"Yi is definitely very smart, very motivated and driven," says Toma. "And it's rare that a student works on two projects during undergraduate school. I'm very happy that he wanted to start working with me after his sophomore year."

The Skull Candy Ink'd Wireless is a better Bluetooth headphone than it looks.
If you don't want to spend more than double or triple the cost on the Bose SoundLink On-Ear Bluetooth or Beats' wireless headphones, the Hesh 2 Wireless is a decent budget Bluetooth headphone choice.
The Grind Wireless offers a comfortable fit and good sound for its relatively modest price point..
The Skullcandy iCon Soft headphones offer up style and sound that only a tween or teen could love.
The Skullcandy 50/50 earbuds offer big bass and useful features for a reasonable price--just don't expect top-notch construction.
Although sound quality isn't the greatest, the Skullcandy Smokin' Buds provide a funky design and some compelling features for the price. They're a solid budget option for music phone owners.
While they don't quite measure up performance-wise to some competing models in this price range, the Skullcandy Navigators score points with their eye-catching design and comfortable fit.
The style-savvy Skullcandy Roc Nation Aviator headphones earn our recommendation for balancing a unique thematic design with exceptional clarity in spite of a slightly passive low-end response.
The Grind is a good choice for anyone looking for a quality on-ear headphone who doesn't want to spend a lot.
Skullcandy Icon 2 headphones are a decent option for teens who prefer on-ear models with a splash of style and a built-in mic for music phone compatibility.
The Skullcandy iPhone FMJ earphones are a solid option for those looking for a wired stereo headset that does double duty for their iPhone, but the off and on audio quality may not fly with discerning listeners.

High-rise hassles in the heart of suburbia
The two hotel projects being built on the outskirts of Williamsville are dividing the community.
Some say the projects are just what the Main Street corridor needs to continue developing into a thriving suburban center.
Others think they're monstrosities that will destroy what makes the Williamsville area special.
"We really need to think about the future, and we need to think about opportunity," said Janice Schlau, a Williamsville native who owns the village's Prosit Restaurant on Main. She said she talks with customers from all over the world and revels in their willingness to stay in Amherst and pour money into the local economy.
Mary Kinder, a 30-year Amherst resident, sees it differently.
"If you take away the feel of a village and you change it, you're looking like downtown, and that's not why people are here," she said. "If you start putting downtown buildings in an area that's quaint, you don't have that anymore. I had a good friend say to me, 'This is progress,' but I'm not so sure."
The debate over the Hyatt Place project – a hotel that the town recently approved – and Carl Paladino's hotel-and-retail project nearing completion about a half- mile away on Main has been fierce.
At the intersection of Main and South Forest Road, Paladino's Ellicott Development is nearing completion of a $35 million, six-story building that will feature retail and restaurant space, 33 luxury apartments, interior parking and a 120-room Wyndham Garden Hotel and Suites.
About a half-mile west on Main is where the Town of Amherst has given approval for Iskalo's six-story, 137-room Hyatt Place to go up behind the Lord Amherst Hotel, just west of the Youngmann Highway interchange.
For Kinder and many other residents, opposition to towering buildings near the village was born after they watched cranes raise the steel frame of Paladino's project that is being built right up to the sidewalk's edge. It looks like it will dwarf every building around it.
"Everybody, I talked to – everybody – said, 'My God, look what's going up. How did that get passed?' " she said.
But Williamsville Mayor Brian Kulpa, a licensed architect with training in urban design, lauded Paladino's project, saying its combination of hotel, apartments and retail marks the first mixed-use project of its kind around the village and an important key to Williamsville's future.
Local patronage of Main Street businesses is not enough to keep the commercial corridor strong, he said.
He also pointed out that he lives half a block behind the village's four-story Hampton Inn on Main (also a Paladino project built in 2002). "I don't see hotel patrons looking down into my backyard," he said. "What I see is a ton of people leaving the Hampton Inn and going to the village taverns and shops."
While the village may be in a suburban community, he said, it's still an urban environment. "We're not so different than an Elmwood. We're not so different from a Hertel," he said, referring to thriving city commercial districts that are both surrounded by residential neighborhoods. "[The village is] growing from the outside in, and it's growing from the inside out."
But he also said projects like Paladino's and Iskalo's drive home the necessity of strong, enforceable design standards, which the Town of Amherst has yet to complete.
"Ultimately, do I think the Hyatt is the world's greatest design? Maybe not," he said. "Do I think Paladino's project is going to win everybody over there to its side? No. However, there's a lot of really, really good elements there."
Paladino model praised
James Dentinger, president of McGuire Development, praised Paladino's mixed-use model. Both he and Kulpa said the design, while imposing, will offer village residents a better walking experience with ground-floor retail and a mix of upper-floor housing.
"My sense is the Ellicott Development project will blend more once it's complete," he said.
It's still too big, responded Michael Joseph, owner of Amherst-based Clover Management, which built and renovated a variety of projects all over the region before focusing on senior housing projects during the last 12 years.
"Listen, [Paladino's] building will be beautiful. No one doubts that," he said. "The problem most people have is the sheer size of the project relative to everything around it."
That's not the fault of the developer, he said. That's the fault of the town for not doing a better job of creating a comprehensive plan with zoning classifications that articulate, in much greater detail, how it wants its community to grow.
"You don't want to leave it to developers to decide what the world is going to look like," he cautioned.
In the case of the new Iskalo and Paladino buildings, the question is not a matter of land use, said Robert Shibley, founder of the Urban Design Project and dean of the University at Buffalo School of Architecture and Planning. In both cases, these buildings were slated for construction on property already designated for general business use. "The issue is not 'whether or not' but how?" he said.
Hyatt heights vary
On the Hyatt Place project, Shibley said he disagreed with the idea of justifying a cookie-cutter, six-story hotel design overlooking the backyards of a residential neighborhood with half-a-million-dollar homes just because that happens to be the Hyatt Place prototype.
"The issue they're concerned about is: What's their relationship to this development?" Shibley said of the neighbors, "and if it's not designed well, they've got a complaint."
In regard to the Hyatt Place prototype, most hotels operating under this flag are six stories tall. But that's not an inflexible model.
Hyatt Place hotels near Albany and on Long Island are five stories tall, with 120 and 100 rooms, respectively. One near South Bend, Ind., is only four stories and holds 121 rooms.
David Hart, head of Hart Hotels, one of the largest hotel operators in the region, is also no fan of the new competition on Main.
People don't come to a region because of a hotel, and giving tax breaks to new hotels is "crazy," he said.
But he also acknowledged the economic risks and realities that developers face when it comes to the design of major projects like these. While it's possible to lop off an entire hotel floor from a design standpoint, he said, it may be impossible to justify financially.
"The fight is not about whether it's the right thing to do ... but is this the only thing that makes economic sense for the developer?" he said.
If the town provided developers with better direction, design guidance and restrictions from the start, developers are less likely to put forth projects that offend so many, Joseph said.
The town has created a new committee to do just that. Their recommendations are expected before the end of the year.
"I think the town is probably right at looking at the process and some of the codes in terms of these kinds of projects," Dentinger said, "but they need to bring the developers to the table and make sure everybody's on the same page about what the town wants to see going forward."

The article describes how Load Balancers (LB) are limited and accounted within a Cloud Infrastructure (CI) subscription.
The amount of Load Balancers created under a Cloud Infrastructure subscription corresponds to the total number of CI Servers created under the subscription. So, the Load Balancer resources are charged as a separate Virtual Environment (VE) in a subscription.
For example, if a subscription has the limit of N CI Servers, and the subscription owner created one Load Balancer, then total number of regular CI Servers for the subscription will be N-1.
|CI Virtual Environments Limit in Service Plan:
|Amount of Load Balancers:
|CI Servers left:
The Load Balancer accounting is going to be improved in the future versions of Parallels Automation in scope of the following requests:
- CCU-6685 - To allow billing for LB resources separately
- CCU-6686 - To add the ability to stop LB if all VEs that are attached to it are stopped

Brady lunch prices raised a nickel
Brady students will need to enter school with a little more change in their pocket after the school board followed the state's suggestion Monday night and increased the price of lunch and milk or juice a nickel apiece.
Even with the increase, Brady's prices remain less expensive than the state's suggestion.
New interim superintendent Russell Finken reviewed his first couple days in town. He said he feels blessed to be in his current position. He thanked the people of Brady for their helpfulness throughout his short time in the community.
One of Finken's first challenges deals with a ceramics kiln.
The plan was to move the kiln to a new location along with the art room it's used in, but the fire marshall nixed that idea.
Finken and the board said they don't feel the kiln's current location is safe. The superintendent plans to discuss alternatives with the art teacher and report back.
Some members are also concerned about a new science classroom being ready by the start of school year.
The drywall was recently hung but lab stations and other necessary classroom fixtures still need to be installed. The board hopes that the classroom will be completed by the end of July.
Athletic director Andy Seamann pitched some possible purchases to the board on behalf of the activities committee.
Seamann bought some lightly used incline benches from Cozad and was allowed to move forward with the purchase of a $3,156 blocking sled for the football team thanks to Finken's approval.
Member TJ Walker said he felt the addition of the sled was "long overdue."
Seamann also hopes to buy new rubber weight plates for the weight room.
Additional requests from the activities committee consisted of a $4,000 basketball shot tracking system and a pole vault pit that would cost anywhere between $15,000 and $20,000 after construction.
The board decided that Brady students' grandparents aged 65 or older that live out of town will be eligible for activity passes this year.
The board also reviewed the student, teacher and activities handbooks. After finding an inconsistency between the teachers handbook and the master contract regarding paid leave, the board deferred to the master contract.
Member Matt Hatch later raised a discussion about extracurricular participation from students with poor grades.
The activities handbook currently allows students with two or fewer failing grades to compete.
Hatch wanted to change it so any student with a failing mark could not participate until the grade is raised.
Finken strongly suggested that the number stay at two because it is the standard for similar school districts. After a brief debate, the board decided to keep the number at two.
In other business, bookkeeper Ashley Lydic suggested that $150,000 be transferred into the building fund to finish payment on the building addition. The board signed off after being reassured that the transfer would be replaced by incoming tax dollars before too long.
Following discussion, all items were approved by a vote.

Census Profile - About the data
The Census of Population collects data on every person in Canada based on where he/she lives on a set date or at a specific point in time. The 2011 Census was conducted in May 2011. The basic unit of measurement is the dwelling. In other words, the census begins by locating all places of residence in Canada. For each occupied private dwelling, there is one household which consists of the sum of one or more persons residing in a dwelling.
The 2011 Census population counts for a particular area represent the number of Canadians whose usual place of residence is in that area, regardless of where they happened to be on Census Day. Also included are any Canadians staying in a dwelling in that area on Census Day and having no usual place of residence elsewhere in Canada, as well as those considered non-permanent residents.
The population counts presented in this profile are those collected from the Census in 2011. Please note that the most appropriate 2011 population figures for Canada, provinces, territories, and census metropolitan areas are the population estimates. See the explanatory note.

2014 WR Jaylen Barbour of Monroe, NC continues to favor USC. His offers include USC, Duke, North Carolina, Appalachian State, East Carolina and NC State.
"I haven't heard much from South Carolina lately but I figure they're finishing up with their 2013 class and then they'll focus on my class," Barbour said. "They were the first to offer me and they're still my leader."
Barbour plans to attend USC's spring game this spring. "I went down there last year for the spring game and I loved it," he said. "I'll definitely go back this year."
He plans to attend a junior day at Charlotte this weekend and still has Clemson, Wake Forest and Duke as likely destinations. The Blue Devils are making a strong push for Barbour.
"They're always telling me to call them and are showing me a lot of love," said Barbour. "I'm going to the Duke-(North) Carolina basketball game in February. I went to the Duke-UNC football game this past season and it was a really loud. I had a good time."
Barbour does not have a time frame for a commitment.

I'm an expert web developer with the attitude in performance and security in web application development.
during the previous years that I come to a friend with yii framework I found it right choice when I need scalability and high availability without compromising performance. but every thing changed from those year,new projects has been born and I think Yii should still be Yii!
It should be the fastest and securest php framework over the world. it should support with built in component high performance scalable project like Apache Cassandra, MongoDB and etc as built in support db, Redis Cache component and many other good projects available in these days.

Why Yii Should Still Be Yii!
Posted 08 December 2012 - 01:22 AM
Posted 08 December 2012 - 06:27 AM
So what's your proposal here? Yii is certainly not getting less secure and probably also not getting slower (maybe in exchange for security or any other "higher goal"). So the only claim that is made by Yii is being "professional". Support of Cassandra, MongoDB from the Yii developers might be favourable, but might also decrease performance. So if you often have to use one of these DB components you can write your own solution and either publish an extension or make a pull request on GitHub (don't really know how these get accepted at Yii).
Posted 08 December 2012 - 06:47 AM
Yii 2 should be a bit faster because of better autoloading. Can't promise it will actually be faster in its alpha state but we'll do our best.

Moutarde de Meaux Royale Pommery Crock with Cognac
The town of Meaux is situated 35 miles west of Paris, following the twists and turns of the Marne, the river on the banks of which the town is built. From the fourth century onwards, the town became a cathedral town, and later the capital of the Brie region. The first links between religious orders and mustard date back to Charlemagne's time. This king asked the monks to cultivate mustard in cathedral towns such as Meaux. In the eighteenth century, several mustard mills were to be found, some of the manufacturers owned their own mill and others had become specialized in the flour trade, and sold their flour to craftsmen who made mustards destined partly for human consumption, and partly for medical and pharmaceutical use. As early as 1771, there were mustard makers in Meaux, who had taken over from the Chanoines, at a scale which was rather industrial for that time. Alongside his mustard company, J.B. Pommery exploited a millstone quarry. The secret of Meaux Mustard had been passed on to him by the Chanoines. In 1890, the Pommery family were the only mustard makers left. Today, Pommery's Meaux Mustard has kept the same recipe as in the past, its ingredients are carefully selected for their different qualities.

I was intrigued by her episode on Sardinia, and then I watched her making a very simple pasta with two of her grandchildren! Lidia explained each step so well, that she made it look so simple--so I decided I was going to make this delicious looking dish. Unfortunately, I don't have any of her cookbooks (which is going to change), and this recipe was not posted on her website. The sausage tomato sauce is very similar to how I make marinara sauce, so that was easy to "wing it" on my own. As for the pasta-- I had to rewind her show (I love DVR), pausing and trying to see the measurements on camera. I ended up guessing at the amount of water she used to make this very simple semolina flour "gnocchi". Let me show you:
Push some of the cooked onion aside, and add a little more olive oil.
The lower right photo shows a saffron thread going into the food processor.
I am officially a fan of Lidia Matticchio Bastianich.
I miss being able to post more than 1-2 times a week, and I miss not having as much time to visit my blogger friends-- and discovering new blogs. Thank you, for hanging in there with me. I so appreciate your comments, and I look forward to sharing more recipes from my kitchen.

Freedom Home Care Acquires Elder Care Services
Expands scope services to include Case Management
MANKATO, Minn. (August 1, 2017) – Freedom Home Care, a locally owned group providing non-medical home care services, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Elder Care Services. The operations of Elder Care Services will be immediately merged into Freedom Home Care's with Sharon Chader, founder and owner of Elder Care Services, joining the staff and leading Freedom Home Care's new Case Management service line.
"The concept of providing both Case Management and traditional Home Care services within our agency has been a vision from the very beginning of Freedom Home Care," says Chris Mihm, co-owner of Freedom Home Care. "We believe this model will allow us to serve more clients, and most importantly to make sure their needs are being fully met."
Elder Care's staff brings a breadth of experience to Freedom Home Care. A well-regarded leader in providing exceptional care, Elder Care Services was founded in 1996 by Chader, a Licensed Social Worker and Certified Care Manager.
"We have highly respected the care Elder Care Services has provided for many years and admired their passion for working with clients to maintain their independence and vitality," says Christine Nessler, co-owner of Freedom Home Care. "With their added expertise and experience, we will strengthen our team and be able to continue to bring to our communities their unique model of Case Management services."
Freedom Home Care's new Case Management services will include identifying and coordinating resources and services, coordinating and attending appointments, relocation assistance, 24/7 emergency availability, crisis intervention, assessments and consultations, advocacy and education, assisting with health care advanced directives, acting as a Health Care Agent and providing Case Management reporting.
"While I am not ready to retire from Case Management, I am retiring from the many daily responsibilities of owning a business," says Chader. "I founded Elder Care Services on a philosophy of providing the best possible care and continuity for our clients through their many life changes. I am pleased to know that through this acquisition that legacy of true care and peace of mind will continue."

Fourth antivirus firm buys into behavioural blocking
Veni, Vedi, Avinti
Web and email security firm Marshal8e6 has bought behaviour-based malware detection specialist Avinti. The terms of the deal, announced Tuesday, were undisclosed.
Marshal8e6 said the deal would allow it to offer its customers improved protection against blended threats, emails that attempt to trick recipients into visiting sites loaded with malware, for example. The deal follows shortly after the merger between Marshal and 8e6 Technologies.
Adding behaviour-based detection to conventional signature-based anti-virus, as well as talk of cloud computing, are all the rage in the anti-malware world. Start-ups that sold behaviour-based protection as a supplement to traditional anti-virus, such as Okena, SecureWave and Sana Security, have been acquired by bigger firms in the security world: Cisco, PatchLink (now Lumension) and AVG, respectively, over recent months.
Last week Microsoft said it would add behaviour-based malware detection to its delayed Forefront security client. Blocking malware based on how it behaves, rather than simple recognition, makes sense. But the whole area of behaviour-based detection is mired in rival marketing claims.
Much like a football squad saying it intends to sign a Brazilian to boost its mid-field creative skills, much depends on whether the introduction meshes well with the rest of the team and delivers goods on the field, rather than talking a good game. ®

Potato sausages are a Norwegian culinary tradition. They are very tasty, but they've been forgotten in the home country. However, the tradition is alive and kicking in the "Norskie" regions of the United States. You can buy salinized casings from the butcher's. The thickness of the sausages depends on the casing. Beef casings are the largest, followed by hog casings, and mutton casings are the thinnest. If you're not going to fry the sausages right away, a good idea might be to lightly boil the sausages for 10 minutes.
- 1
Soak the casing in cold water.
- 2
Mix potatoes, meat, lard, salt and pearl barley in a bowl. Dilute with milk until the sausage meat is loose and manageable.
- 3
Stuff the sausage meat into the meat grinder with a sausage stuffer nozzle or another specialty tool. The sausages can be grilled, fried or oven-baked in an ovenproof dish.

My Story
In the summer of 2008, I started to feel rather lethargic during workouts and I struggled to maintain my normal training paces. My recovery from my harder efforts and long runs took longer than usual. I immediately and incorrectly assumed I had low serum ferritin levels indicating iron deficiency anemia.
One colleague to whom I lamented about my chronic fatigue asked me if I had checked my Vitamin D levels. "Vitamin D levels?" I exclaimed. I live in California, it is summer, and I am outside way more than the recommended 20 to 30 minutes a day. There is no way I could be Vitamin D deficient, especially since in addition to being exposed to sun most days, I eat a very balanced diet that includes a daily multivitamin supplement. However, a visit to my doctor confirmed that my serum 25–hydroxy-Vitamin D (25(OH)D) value was dangerously low (18 ng/ml). Normal levels are between 40-70 ng/ml. And for those with chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and multiple sclerosis, normal blood levels should be between 55-70 ng/ml. I was shocked.
I immediately started daily supplementation with 1,000 IU of vitamin D (Vitamin D3). After eight weeks, my 25 (OH)D level had improved somewhat (28 ng/ml). I did feel slightly better, but I wanted to recover completely, so I upped my dosage to 2,000 IU daily. A few weeks later my levels were within the normal range (56 ng/ml). I felt noticeably stronger and was able to hit my usual paces during training. And in October 2008, I set a half-marathon personal record.
